Brother Ernest, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth I place my hands upon thy head to pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee and I say unto thee be of good faith and seek to obtain wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Also, inform thy mind in regard to the principles of life and salvation, for thou art numbered among the sons of Zion of whom much is expected. Therefore, prepare thyself for the events of the future, for the time is not far distant when thou shalt be called to labor in the ministry, and without doubt thou shall travel much for the Gospel sake and go again to thy native land and gather out from bondage many of the honest in heart who are now in Babylon, and if thou art faithful thou shalt have great joy therein, and thou shalt find friends among strangers, and thine enemies shall not hedge thee round about, but thou shall accomplish a good work and fulfill thy mission upon the Earth. Thou art of the blood of Joseph and shall receive thy Blessings in the Tribe of Ephriam. Thou art also entitled to the blessings of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and of the new and everlasting covenant in as much as thou will be humble and listen to the still small voice of the comforter. Therefore I say unto thee put thy trust in the Lord and the Angel of thy presence shall watch over thee and guard thy footsteps, and thou shall become a mighty man in Israel, and thy name shall be perpetuated and handed down in honorable remembrance and written in the Lamb's Book of Life. These Blessings I seal upon thy head and I seal thou up unto eternal life to come forth in the morning of the first Resurrection forever. Amen. |
Sister Elizabeth, by virtue of the holy priesthood I place my hands upon thy head to pronounce and seal a blessing upon thee, that thy heart may be comforted, therefore be of good faith and of good cheer, for the Lord hath heard thy petitions, is pleased with thine integrity, and will reward thee through which thou has past. Thou hast forsaken thine kindred and friends for the sake of salvation. Continue faithful and thou shalt verily receive thy reward and as a mother in Israel thy name shall be handed down in honorable remembrance and written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Thou art of Ephraim. Thine inheritance is among the saints. Thy days and years shall be according to thy faith. Seek wisdom, that the blessing of the Lord may attend thee. It is thy privilege to council among thy sex, and to call them to faithfulness, that peace may be in thy circle. Listen to the whisperings of the still small voice of the comforter, for thy guardian angel will whisper in thine ear, give thee strength in time of trial, and power over evil and unclean spirits, and thou shalt not lack for the comforts of life, but shall give unto the needy, and comfort the hearts of the bowed down. This blessing I seal upon thy head in the name of Jesus Christ to come forth in the morning of the first resurrection a savior among thy kindred and friends. Even so, amen. |
